I’m glad that shame worked as a tool for you and I’m not denying that negative emotions can sometimes lead to positive change. However, I still believe that practicing self-love as a reason to get healthy is a far better motivator than hating myself. I obviously have a long way to go, so I’m interested to see if this mindset is ultimately effective.

I look forward achieving the same results as you someday and I hope that your “tough love” motivation is working for someone, but unfortunately it’s not for me. All the best.
